The coolest thing about Hydra is that cars and scooters are banned by law and the only transport is on foot or by donkey. So welcome to your taxi queue from the arriving ferry.
As my balcony is literally right on the port I watch the freight boats unloading their freight every morning. The donkeys are all so patient and I feel sorry for them weighed down by everything from vegetables to terracotta roof tiles. The driver's 'trill' to the donkeys to tell them what to do - which is really quite calming for the humans as well.
This rather appealed. If you look closely the donkey has a disabled sticker on his saddle. I can't work out if it means he's for disabled passengers, or whether he's disabled...
but I suspect this guy is about to be!
This driver seemed to have his charge under rather more control, even turning around to strike a pose for me.
